PUTTING THE ALE IN FERNDALE

Making Beer

People always ask us: "Hey WAB, your beer. Why do it taste so good?" Rather than correct their english or wipe the beer off of their chin, we give them the straight answer. ONE WORD: Greg Burke.

Greg has been the captain of our the WAB Brewser Line for 8+ years. When he's not wearing a hat with a light on it and sunglasses (the irony) the Organic Mechanic (TM) is making it happen in the WAB brewhouse.

ONE OF THE FIRST PINTS EVER CAUGHT ON FILM

9 Mile?

Why not have a 9 Mile beer? In 1997 this WAB beer was ceremoniously hoisted and subsequently drank. The rest is history.

WHERE SCIENCE MEETS SCIENCE. MAD SCIENCE.

Making Magic

Like all beer, it's mostly water, but that's where the similarities end and the fun begins.

WHERE SCIENCE MEETS YOUR REFRIGERATOR

You CAN Take it With You

We offer all of our beers to go in 1/2 gallon growlers.

THE KITCHEN

We love food as much as we love beer. Especially PIZZA. Don't you just love it, too?

COURTNEY WITTER

Courtney Witter is the reason why you will think twice before washing the taste of dinner down with WAB beer. Not saying WAB beer tastes bad, we're saying that the food just tastes so good, that's all.

FERNDALE?

FERNDALE?

WE MIGHT HAVE PUT THE ALE IN FERNDALE, AND THE CITY MAY BE HOPPING, BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN US BEHIND THAT ONE. LET US TELL YOU ABOUT A FEW THINGS.

POOL HALL MUSIC VENUE

One door south of the WAB, The Loving Touch, named after the massage parlor that used to be located in the WAB building (at least the name had a happy ending) has 8 beautiful pool tables most nights, and is transformed into one of the most music friendly venues in the area.

THE EMORY

We're super in love with the emory, for too many good reasons. It's gorgeously appointed with more wood than The Loving Touch ever had in it. Little known fact that the building the WAB is in used to be a massage parlor of the same name back in the 80's. Who didn't love the 80's?

DIY STREET FAIR RETURNS SEPTEMBER '15

We are proud to be a part of one of the best FREE events in the Detroit area. Held annually in the streets of downtown Ferndale each September, DIYSF showcases local artists, crafters, breweries, restaurants and musicians for three days and three nights. It doesn't get much better than this weekend in Ferndale.
